By downloading and using BLEACORN, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
BLEACORN is a public safety tool designed to assist in locating missing persons who have Bluetooth-enabled medical devices. It is not intended for any other purpose.
When a detection is made, location data is shared exclusively with verified law enforcement investigators. BLEACORN does not share detection coordinates with family members, case submitters, or any non-law-enforcement party.
If law enforcement determines the individual left voluntarily and is not in danger, the case is closed and no location information is disclosed. BLEACORN respects every individual's right to privacy and safety.
BLEACORN does not assist in locating individuals who have voluntarily left or where no law enforcement investigation is active.
You agree not to attempt to reverse engineer, modify, or misuse the BLEACORN app or its detection network. You agree not to submit false or fraudulent missing persons cases.
BLEACORN users are not notified when a signal match occurs. All detection data is reported directly to law enforcement.
If you have submitted a case and are notified of a signal detection, do not attempt to locate the person yourself. Share all detection information with law enforcement and allow them to coordinate the response. Approaching a location without law enforcement present may compromise the safety of the missing person and interfere with an active investigation.
Cases are only activated with a verified, active law enforcement case number. BLEACORN verifies all case submissions with the reporting agency before activation.
BLEACORN is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that the app will detect any specific signal, or that detections will result in the recovery of a missing person. BLE detection range varies significantly based on environment, device, and interference.
Where a family has posted a reward for information leading to recovery, BLEACORN facilitates but does not guarantee reward distribution. Reward eligibility is determined by the posting family and applicable law.
BLEACORN and its operators shall not be liable for any damages arising from use or inability to use the app, including but not limited to failure to detect a signal, inaccurate GPS coordinates, or delayed transmission.
